Would you let your DH "catch" the baby?

if it were safe for him (he'd freak out if there were complications) i'd encourage DH to catch our Gremlin. i think it would be so much nicer for the first person to hold our bub to be one of us - and i'm guessing it would be easier for him to wear the catchers mitt than me!

With our first two DH watched the entire thing from down the business end, cut the cord etc. This time round he's actually going to guide baby's head out, and pull him up onto my chest! He's pretty darn excited about it and feels sufficiently learned after watching it happen twice before

I think it'll be a nice 'final baby' experience iykwim. Esp seeing as the 2nd time round he didnt get to hold bub for a few hours as I was too busy feeding and baby gazing. This time he'll sort of get to touch him and 'help' birth him and then I can cuddle as long as I want with no hard feelings.

If your Dh is up for it and your caregiver allows it I say go for it, he wont regret it!
